import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';

The Algolia Crawler Visual UI provides an updated, user-friendly way to manage your crawl settings and monitor your indexing process. This guide covers the main features of the new interface.

## DocSearch Tab

The Crawler UI now includes a dedicated **DocSearch** tab. This tab provides everything you need to implement DocSearch on your site, including:

- **Implementation code**: Copy-paste ready code snippets for integrating DocSearch into your frontend.
- **API keys**: Your unique Application ID and Search API Key for connecting to your Algolia index.
- **Quick links**: Access to review your records, explore documentation, and join the support Discord.

## Trigger a new crawl

Head over to the `Overview` section to `start`, `restart` or `pause` your crawls and view a real-time summary.

## Monitor your crawls

The `Monitoring` section helps you find crawl errors or improve your search results.

## Update your config

You can update your crawler configuration in two ways:

**Visual Configuration UI:**
Quickly edit common options without writing code using the new Visual Configuration interface.

  />
</div>

**Code Editor:**
For advanced configuration, use the live code editor to directly modify your config file and test your URLs (`URL tester`).

</div>

## URL tester

From the [`editor`](#update-your-config), you can use the URL tester to debug selectors or see how the crawler interprets your site.

<div className="uil-ta-center">

    src={useBaseUrl('img/assets/crawler-visual-url-tester.png')}
    alt="Algolia Crawler Visual UI URL Tester"
  />
</div>

## Suggestions

The **Suggestions** section in the Crawler UI provides actionable feedback to help you improve your crawl and data extraction. After each crawl, you'll see recommendations for:

- Fixing redirect or domain issues
- Addressing ignored or failed URLs
- Adding missing sitemaps

Each suggestion includes a description, a solution, and quick links to relevant documentation or monitoring tools, so you can resolve issues efficiently and optimize your search experience.
